N.H. racing at Carlisle, Fontwell and Southwell

No flat racing today in Britain, even Southwell is staging one its rare N.H.meetings. Champion Jockey Tony McCoy is in action here woith two rides for Jonjo O´Neill, Twilight Eagle in the handicap chase at 15.10 CET and Galaxy Rock in the handicap hurdle at 16.45, both of them with winning prospects. McCoy also rides Fifty Sheets for Charlie Egerton in the maiden hiurdlke at 16.15; he has been off the track since November, b ut so has his main rival on form Ikorudo Road (Matthew Sheppard/ Noel Fehily).

At Fontwell, trainer Alan King and jockey Robert Thorntzon can get favourite bettors off to a good start by taking the first two races on Santia at 15.20 CET and Greenbridge at 15.55. The 3 1/2 mile handicap chase here at 17.00 looks very open withall 8 runners having a chance. Veteran Hazeljack (Tony Whiting/ Charlie Huxley) is 14 but always runs well here and looks a solid each-way bet.

At Carlisle, the fields are mainly small and only 4 turn our for the novice chase at 16.05.Le Beau Bal (Richard Lee/ Charlie Poste) has the best rating, but had a hgard race only on Wednesday at Cheltenham, and our preference is for Tastes like More (Donald McCain/ Jason Maguire), an easy winner last time and moving uo in grade. Bottom-weight La Pantera Rosa (Micky Hammond/ Fran Keniry) was an easy CD winner last time out and can score again in the novices handicap chase at 17.10 CET.
